“Long concentration on the liberating spiritual eye enables the yogi to destroy all delusions concerning matter and its gravitational weight; thenceforth he sees the universe as an essentially undifferentiated mass of light.” —Paramhansa Yogananda

The Spiritual Eye is a universal reality and awaits every seeker’s discovery. It is the seat of superconsciousness. Clarity, concentration, creativity, strength, and joy come naturally to one who tunes into its reality. Focusing on, and opening your Spiritual Eye will automatically give you deeper insights and intuitive awareness.

Join guest minister Nayaswami Sagar visiting from Ananda village and Saiganesh for this morning retreat, where we will:

  • Discuss the meaning and significance of the Spiritual eye based on the teachings of Yogananda

  • Explore practices and techniques to deepen your perception of the Spiritual Eye

  • Hear stories of seekers finding strength and guidance through experiences of the Spiritual Eye

The retreat include guided meditations and activities guiding us on this inner exploration to gain first hand experience of the divine presence within.

Fee $45
